Abstract

We present an interactive demonstration of histogram distance-based radio tomographic imaging (HD-RTI), a device-free localization (DFL) system that uses measurements of received signal strength (RSS) on static links in a wireless network to estimate the locations of people who do not participate in the system by wearing any radio device in the deployment area. Compared to prior methods of RSS-based DFL, using a histogram difference metric is a very accurate method to quantify the change in RSS on the link compared to historical metrics. The new method is remarkably accurate, and works with lower node densities than prior methods.
